President’s Points

Item No VII. Volunteering for TSEWA Activities. The President lamented that many members who committed themselves to undertake the activities of TSEWA, have not been able to devote enough time and consequently we do not have any reports about their activities in their respective areas of responsibility. He reiterated that TSEWA can not grow unless we expand our foot print to those areas in which large ESM Population reside and for this we require four to five active members in each state and a senior member should take lead to build the team. It was decided that this matter should be discussed in the forthcoming AGM.
